The initial models were the classic pens in [[BCHR|chased]] or [[mottled]] hard rubber, made in cylindrical shapes with the classical [[eyedropper filler|eyedropper]] or [[safety]] filling system. There were also luxury models with gold or silver [[overlay]]s. The pens were advertised using the figure of a knight who had a nib as a shield and a pen as a spear; the advertising claimed that the [[Bayard]] pens did not feared competition or remarks on their quality. The nibs of these first models were marked with the symbol PF (standing for ''Panici Frères'') except for the top models that had the nib marked with the word ''Bayard'', which otherwise was normally reported on the pen body.

In 1927 were first introduced [[lever filler]] models, that in 1930 were divided into two series, the ''Normal'' and the ''De Luxe''. In the late '20s the company began to produce their firsts celluloid models, and launched the series '''446'', in jade, ruby and lapislazuli, with a special removable back that could be replaced to use the pen on a pen-holders table.

In 1932 production was reorganized, and an economic model, the [[Special 8]] was launched; it was a [[lever filler]], in black or marbled celluloid black with an metal alloy nib. It was then introduced the model [[Superluxe]], always a [[lever filler]], but with gold nib and produced in black, iridescent marbled gold or iridescent marbled green celluloid. The new pens had [[streamlined]] forms, with the ends of cap and body of conical shape, and were produced both men and woman models.

During the '50s the company underwent a continuous decline in sales caused by the growing market share of the ballpoint pen. [[Bayard]] try a revival in 1956 with the [[Souverain de Luxe]] model, a streamlined pen, with [[hooded nib|covered nib]] and [[accordion filler]], produced with a metal cap. But at the time the writing instruments market was dominated by ballpoint pens; smaller models were introduced, such as the [[Bayard 20]], the [[Bayard 30]] and the [[Karting]], a [[cartridge filler]], but the decline continued relentlessly until the final closure in the mid of '70s.
